An Uber spokesman has said the company's policy that bars drivers and riders from carrying firearms applies in Colorado.

"Who is going to be there for the Uber driver when something happens and the passenger decided to force themselves on you and attack you?" Hancock's wife told Denver 7. "There is no support for the driver."

Hancock's father previously told KDVR that his son is married with two children and works as a counselor at a home for troubled boys.

A GoFundMe page had raised more than $11,000 for Hancock before it was removed because it was not in compliance with the terms of service, a relative told Denver 7.
